Celebrant of the Forbidden City.

As a palm seal eunuch with the power to criticize red, Wang Zhen is even rumored to be called the inner minister, which is enough to compete with the cabinet. But in this way, his usual busyness can be imagined. At this time, although it was the end of the Shen period, there was still a thick pile of notes waiting for approval in his hand.

But Wang Zhen is very happy about this, as he once sought fame but could not get it, and even failed to get the exam, now he can make decisions on the various suggestions made by the Manchu Dynasty ministers, those high-ranking Jinshi and even the old men of the Shujishi, he has an indescribable sense of happiness.

The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable recently was that Lu Jin, who had ruined his good deeds that day, had not died under the assassin's assassination. Although he didn't dare to take revenge on Lu Zhen because of the Son of Heaven, Dongchang's eyes and ears have been staring at the Daxing County Ya, wanting to find out Lu Jin's mistakes and omissions. As a result, I didn't catch the mistake or omission, but I saw this amazing scene, but the result was a little unsatisfactory.

After reviewing more than a dozen notes, feeling a little sleepy and resting with his pen, Wang Zhen unconsciously remembered this in his mind: "But don't be too happy, this time the matter is not so easy to deal with, maybe the second wave of assassinations will also come." He offended those people a lot this time. ”

Thinking of this, a hint of schadenfreude smiled on Wang Zhen's face, and he felt that he might soon get the news of Lu Jin's killing, and he was still out of the matter. Thinking of the pride, Wang Gonggong reached out and took the tribute porcelain teacup of Jun Kiln, and slowly drank this year's Longjing before the rain.

Just as he was slowly tasting the fragrance of the tribute tea in his mouth, suddenly a huge bang came, which shocked Wang Zhen's hand and splashed half a cup of fragrant tea on his face and the clothes in front of him.

Then, there was a thick but loud thunderous thump that resounded throughout the sky of the Forbidden City, which made Wang Zhen stunned: "This is ......"

Not only him, but now the people in the palace, from ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, to the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the gates, to several cabinet ministers who stayed in the cabinet to deal with government affairs, and even Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, who was reviewing the music, were all shocked by this sudden sound of drums.

Some people were frightened by this and fell, and some people drew an ink mark on the document in front of them with a shake of their hands, and the imperial pen in Zhu Qizhen's hand also fell to the ground, completely staining the case with a piece of music......

The Imperial Palace Ouchi has always been quiet, and there has never been such a big movement, but today such a thunderclap-like drum suddenly came from outside, which really caught everyone off guard. Many people subconsciously looked at the bell and drum tower at the corner of Miyagi, thinking that it was a sound coming from there, but then they knew that they had misjudged.

Yang Pu's complexion also changed in an instant, he suddenly got up and looked up, looked out from the small window of the cabinet, and muttered a sentence in his mouth: "Could this be ...... Dengwen Drum ......"

As an old man of the Yongle Dynasty, although he had not heard the movement of the Dengwen drum with his own ears, he had also heard his predecessors mention how powerful the drum was when it sounded. At that time, he only said that this was a legend, and no one ever beat the big drum that had been standing outside the palace gate. Unexpectedly, this drum sounded again after a lapse of decades.

How is this possible? There are dozens of brocade guards in front of the drums, and ordinary people can't get close to them at all, let alone go up and knock them out! Moreover, unless there is a great grievance to be told to the Son of Heaven, he will not dare to make such a big move, where can anyone dare to make such a decision in this prosperous world now?

Yang Pu was stunned on the spot, unable to figure out how to think about it. And Hu Hu, who had just returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, was surprised, and quickly thought of something, but his face was also stunned: "Could it really be him?" How dare he make such a big fuss? Or is this case really serious enough to be in such a situation? ”

The people all over the capital, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, were all attracted by the sudden sound of the drum, and everyone's eyes converged in the direction of the drum. Although everyone doesn't know what happened, one thing is the consensus of everyone - this time the incident must be small!

@@@@@

When Lu Zhen jumped up to the drum tower, the scene of time stagnation just now disappeared in an instant, and all the guards looked ahead in surprise, and at this time, the drum above sounded loudly.

When they looked back, they saw Lu Zhen holding a drumstick high and beating the huge Dengwen drum, and the drum covered by the rhinoceros skin let out a roar, and the loud bang spread out in all directions.

At this moment, the guards were stunned on the spot as if they had been immobilized again, and no one dared to step forward to take people again! Because the drums have sounded, this matter is no longer something that a soldier of their status can ask, and the only person in the world who can ask the person who beats the drum is today!

Although the rules set by Emperor Taizu have begun to be broken by later generations, they only dare to use some means to play a marginal game. If you really want to clearly violate the rules set by Emperor Taizu, even the Son of Heaven does not have the courage! Therefore, for decades, the monarchs and ministers only dared to surround the Dengwen drum and prevent people from approaching, but they did not dare to dismantle it. And when someone really goes up to the top of the building and beats the drum, they can only do it according to the rules!

After a while, Lu Zhen finally got tired of beating, stopped, put the drumstick aside, and then stood there proudly, looking in the direction of the palace. It's a pity that this building is not too high, and you can only see a corner of the palace wall when you stand there.

If he could jump into the air, he would find that there was already a commotion in the originally peaceful palace at the moment, and then, a team of Jinyi Wei Dahan generals, who were the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, rushed over from the direction of Wenhua Palace. Soon, this group of men and horses had passed through the palace gate and rushed to the bottom of the drum tower.

When he saw that there was indeed a person standing in front of the Dengwen drum, the leader was stunned for a while, and then pressed his sword and stepped forward: "Who is beating the Dengwen drum?" ”

Lu Zhen took a deep breath, slowly walked down the stairs from the top of the building, and after standing in front of those soldiers, he held his head high and said: "Weichen Daxing County has ordered Lu Zhen to report a big case to His Majesty!" Because of the humble position of the official, he can't see the face of heaven, so he can only beat the Dengwen drum to alarm the Son of Heaven! With that, he bowed down and bowed to the standard.

The general's expression changed several times, but in the end, he still said solemnly: "In this case, Lu Xian ordered you to follow me into the palace to face the saint!" ”

Rules are rules, and when the drum sounds, even if the Son of Heaven is unwilling, he can only summon the person who beats the drum. As for what his purpose is and whether he is at fault, it can only be decided after seeing the driver.

Of course, it is not so simple for Lu Jin, the county commander, to enter the palace to see the driver, he has to be searched by the forbidden soldiers guarding the palace gate, and after making sure that there are no prohibited items on his body, he will be allowed to pass through the corner gate and enter the Forbidden City.

Seeing that he was escorted in by the forbidden army, Lin Lie and the two messengers breathed a sigh of relief, at least their own adults were not directly taken down by these guys. But it's Lin Lie, who is also sweating for Lu Zhen at this time, this time he made such a big fuss, can he still come out of the palace safely?

"My lord, why is he taking such risks?" One of the officers couldn't help but muttered softly.

"I heard adults say that there is a saying in the book called the place of righteousness, although thousands of people are here! Maybe that's why adults do all this! While Lin Lie spoke, his eyes were full of reverence, and he really didn't follow the wrong person.

The other two were also greatly moved, and stood there a little stupidly, looking ahead, Lu Jin's figure had already been completely blocked by the tall and majestic palace wall. And around the three of them, the sergeants guarding the drum tower had already surrounded them, in case they did the same crazy thing again......

The forbidden army walked back and forth along the long corridor towards the depths of the palace, but Lu Jin's heart was calm. When he made this decision, he had already prepared for the worst. But now it seems that the matter is still under control, at least he can stand in front of the Son of Heaven again through this crazy move. And this time, I guess we won't be talking in an empty square like we did a few months ago, right?

After his mood was settled, Lu Zhen still had the heart to take a look at the scenery along the road at this time, and he found that he was not moving along the road to the Taihe Hall as before, but turned to the other side along a road paved with white marble. It's a pity that he is too unfamiliar with the environment of the palace, so he doesn't know where this is going.

After walking for a while, Lu Jin's steps paused slightly, because he saw several more figures on the side of the road, and they were looking towards him.

One is the old man who helped him speak at the court meeting, it seems to be the only remaining Yang Pu Yang Ge elder of the three Yang fruits, and the other is staring at himself with a pair of cold eyes, although the appearance is unfamiliar, but just looking at his clothes and beardless appearance, Lu Zhen can make a guess - he should be the legendary generation of power supervisor Wang Zhen who brought disaster to the country and the people!

After only one glance at Yang Pu, Lu Zhen buried his head again and rushed forward. Surrounded by so many forbidden troops, it was impossible for him to really say anything to anyone.

Yang Pu watched worriedly as Lu Zhen was brought over, and let out a long sigh, but he didn't know how to express it. Wang Zhen looked incredulous: "This guy is too capable of causing trouble, right?" He even dared to beat the drum, is there anything he doesn't dare to do in this world? But then, he showed a smile again, after such a big disaster, this Lu Zhen is afraid that he will die, right?

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Zhen continued to move forward, and soon came to a temple, between the yellow tiles and red walls, there was a huge plaque hanging on it, on which were written three powerful characters - "Wenhua Palace"!
